Leader in Medical Product Development

For Medical, Life Sciences, and Consumer Health Companies.

We introduce powerful, intuitive healthcare technologies to the world. Medical product manufacturers who recognize and act upon the migration of healthcare from hospital to the home will own the future.

Medical Product Design

MindFlow Design has extremely high product development standards. Consistency and quality are assured through a structured, three-phase proprietary process called Guideway™. In conformance with ISO 9001 and 13485 requirements, we constantly review and improve elements of this process. We shape innovation in medical product development.

Opportunity Mining

We think you’ll agree that innovation is the lifeblood of your business, but identifying new business and product opportunities is not easy. Ideas come from many places: company acquisitions, technology advancement, market studies, employees and customers. The challenge is to find opportunities repeatedly to meet ever-increasing revenue targets.

Technology Development

Our approach is to help you develop creative solutions to the toughest early-stage mechanical and electrical engineering challenges to be faced on the cusp of medical product invention. We are senior professionals who are extremely comfortable operating on technology frontiers where little is known and much is to be discovered.

Visual Brand Language

Creating consistency between products is paramount to the success of your brand. A brand should have a distinctive design language that reflects your business goals, market posture and user needs. This document will guide your development teams and ensure consistency of future products as they move through your pipeline.

Usability Research & Testing

MindFlow Design offers stand-alone human factors engineering and usability engineering (HFE/UE) services to help you maintain that focus outside of a full medical product design engagement. Everything you need to successfully meet the requirements in the final FDA guidance “Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices”.

User Interface Design

If your product requires a user-friendly interface to access the complexity within, MindFlow Design can help. We develop UI’s as a stand-alone service as well as an element of a comprehensive product development program. Most UI solutions involve minimizing the number of options or steps necessary to accomplish a task.

COVIDIEN - PB980 Ventilator

After being selected as the company’s industrial design partner, MindFlow Design began conducting design research to study how respiratory therapists, nurses and biomedical technicians used the PB980 ventilator and its competitors’ ventilators in multiple hospital settings. MindFlow Design also solicited the opinions of the company’s sales, marketing and research and development teams.

New Brand Language Produces a Veterinary Imaging Winner

SOUND EKLIN - NEXT Digital Radiography

MindFlow Design was engaged to handle the design research, industrial design and engineering. At the start, the client readily accepted MindFlow Design’s suggestion that the product should strive to reposition the market leader as an innovator while serving as the template for an extended family of future products. Essentially, MindFlow Design’s role was expanded to developing an entirely new brand language for the company.

One Innovation Followed by Another

CHART SEQUAL - Equinox Oxygen Concentrator

Not long after introduction of the Eclipse, SeQual tasked MindFlow Design with developing its successor product. The latest offering, known as the Equinox, came to market in March 2014. Earning rave reviews, the Equinox stands ready to replicate the success of its predecessor. It is even smaller, lighter and quieter than the Eclipse while maintaining an industry-leading continuous oxygen flow rate of three liters per minute.
